As LegionZero pointed out, your complaint about "himself" and "his" is bizarre.

"I don't really like "assimilates himself," though, that's kind of...weird?"

Put "his human identity" with it, if you want. The point is he's unlocking a part of his demon side that was previously buried away within himself, and merging it with the rest of him.

"If it used it should be used sparingly."

Sure, that's fine. It already was used sparingly, in my opinion at least, and Tim's edits to remove it did weird things like adding awkward uses of colons. Several of the uses of "the Rebellion" that were disputed were also adjacent to cites using that exact phrasing.

"More to the point, it's not grammatically necessary"

It does make it less awkward to read, though, as "Rebellion" is a proper noun in this context, but not in general English. For anyone reading the article aloud, it's a bit messier.

"All "the" does in the second sentence is make it clunkier and slightly more confusing as your brain tries to figure out what that superfluous "the" is doing there before it figures out the answer is "nothing." "

Because you're putting it after "called". That's not what "the" is used for when it's used to refer to weapons or ships.

A better example would be


 * Lady uses the Kalina Ann, a rocket launcher.
